Professional Experience
As a newspaper features writer, my work appeared in the Washington Post, Milwaukee Journal, Denver Post and other publications. I covered the music downloading/piracy trials for Bloomberg and have been published frequently in regional publications. I've won awards for feature writing, page design and headline writing from Minnesota news associations.
